Low Loss Polymer Waveguides Fabricated By Plasma Etching For Nonlinear-Optical Devices Operating At Telecommunication Wavelengths

Abstract

Organic materials exhibit large optical nonlinearities and are attractive for parametric interactions, cascading, and wavelength demultiplexing. In poled polymer waveguides figures of merit comparable to inorganic materials were obtained for second-harmonic generation (SHG) at 1.55 μm. To reduce the loss of polymer waveguides used for second-order nonlinear effects at telecommunication wavelengths, materials with low intrinsic absorption between 0.6 and 1.6 μm have to be combined with techniques allowing one to form waveguides with low scattering losses.
